Lectures
Proving God
Logical Proof for Monotheism
Presenting, explaining, and defending a simple proof that
a rational, omnipotent, omniscient creator God exists,
and that there is only one such God.
Proving the Son of God
Logical Proof of the Shared Deity of the Image of God
It's easy to prove that a creator God exists, but in this
lecture, in addition to deductively proving that God exists, multiple
arguments will be combined to demonstrate the deductive
necessity of not just God, but also of His Son.
Presuppositional Apologetic Methodology
How to Discern the Most Critical Differences Between Worldviews
Presuppositional reasoning is often mocked, ridiculed, and misunderstood. However, it is one of
the best ways to accurately represent both one's own view, and one's opponent's view. It is also
particularly adept at enabling the apologist to discern the root of error in the non-Christian's view.
Attributes of God
What is God Like?
Dealing with complex theological difficulties, this presentation covers
God's omnitemporality,
omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence, and moral character. Dealing with common objections such
as the Euthyphro
Dilemma, knowledge
of tensed facts, and whether omnipotence entails contradictions,
these difficult abstract concepts will become much simpler.
Is God Evil?
Stephen Law's Evil God Challenge Dismantled
Even if we grant that God exists,
why
should we think that God is good rather than evil? The question
is actually far sillier than it seems at first and, in analyzing the question, the foundations for
Christian thought will be brought to light in stark contrast to the foundations of humanism.
In Printed Form
Along with numerous other authors including Don Landis, Bodie Hodge and Roger Patterson, Timothy McCabe contributes analyses of various world religions and cults in this volume from Master Books.
Other Writings
New!"Does the "problem of evil" show that an all-good, all-powerful, all-knowing god cannot exist?"
The "problem of evil" generally goes something like this. 1. If God had all-power over our universe, he would have been able to prevent the wickedness of Adolf Hitler. 2. If God had all-knowledge of our universe, he would have known how to prevent the wickedness of Adolf Hitler. 3. If God were all-good, he would have wanted to prevent the wickedness of Adolf Hitler. 4. Adolf Hitler was wicked in our universe. 5.

"I'd like to hear an explanation to any of these questions without referencing the bible. For those of us that don't believe I the inerrancy of that Bronze-aged text, it would be refreshing."
You want an authoritative Christian answer that doesn't appeal to Christianity's authority? Interesting idea. Let me think on it for a little bit... Hmmm... No. (Deuteronomy 6:6-9; Joshua 1:8, 23:6; 1 Kings 2:3; Psalm 1:2; Proverbs 7:1; Matthew 4:4-10; Mark 12:24; Luke 1:3, 10:26, 11:28, 16:29, 24:27; John 21:24; Acts 17:11, 18:28; 1 Corinthians 2:13, 14:37; Ephesians 6:17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 1:21; Revelation 1:3, 22:19)

"Mr. McCabe, you said "The three persons of the trinity have three distinct roles" , and "There is only One God". Is this a contradiction?"
It is often argued that Trinitarian doctrine is contradictory. How can three be one and one be three, all at the same time? It sounds like bad math. First, we need to recognize what is meant by the label "contradiction". A logical contradiction is something that makes a claim and then also claims its exact negation. A logical contradiction cannot possibly be true. It is impossible for something to both be and not be at the same time and in the same way.
